The Time of Tea

This is a Tea-Table-Book. It binds together photographs by Bruno Suet and the text by Dominique T. Pasqualini. It is made up of 3 parts–a book of images, a book of texts and a clasp. The photographs were taken over a period of 9 years, in China, among the tuaregs, in Great Britain, in Japan. The clasp holds the image-block and the textblock against one another, supporting them in a vertical position. This book features the different utensils used in tea making, the rules of tea-making, tea houses, tea gardens, tea testing, tea tasting, aromas and a lot more.
